Plant Physiological and Ecological Responses to Environmental Stress

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The growth and development of plants has been significantly affected by climate change propelled by global warming, elevated CO2, and uneven precipitation distribution. Plants adjust their physiological activities and ecological traits to adapt to and respond to environmental changes and extreme weather. Gaining insights into how plants respond to short-term and long-term environmental changes can enhance our in-depth comprehension of the mechanisms underlying plant–environment interactions. In this Topic, we invite original research on the morphological, resource acquisition functions, phenology, molecular mechanism, and physiological biochemical processes of plants in response to climate change and alterations in growth environments. Manuscripts investigating a range of scales, spanning molecular, physiological, and ecological dimensions, with a specific focus on providing innovative insights into plant physiological and ecological responses, are encouraged for submission to this Topic issue.
